I went to the game on Friday and noticed that the Indians had recalled Ramon Vazquez. But what really caught my eye was that he was starting at third base the day after Boone's 3 error performance against the Yankees. It just seems to me that Shapiro is thinking Boone is all of a sudden outhit Marte by a wide margin sometime this season. Marte may have 18 errors in Buffalo, but Boone has yet to impress me defensively either. Three errors in one game shoulda been the hurdle Shapiro needed to use to call up Marte and do what is best for the club...release Aaron Boone.
Atleast the game on Friday was the one worth going to over the weekend with excellent performances from the offense (nice to see Guitierez get 3 hits) and the complete game shutout from Sabathia.

Apparently, the ultimate goal of the Indians-according to manager Eric Wedge on numerous occasions-is to "put themselves in position to win". Notice it is not TO WIN, but to merely come close.
Using Wedge's logic, fans should be pounding down the gates of Jacobs Field because they come close. I even "put myself into position" to purchase a few tickets to (last week's) Royals series.
There I was, credit card in hand...mmm, fireworks...oh boy, Drew Carey Bobblehead Day... Tribe 47 wins 63 losses...27 games behind...Inglett...Shoppach...Andy " I'm not Erron Boone" Marte... CANCEL TRANSACTION
I returned the credit card to my wallet and I swear I heard Tribe PR man Bob Dibiasio lean over to Larry Dolan and say, "Relax, Mr. Dolan... at least we've got these fans 'putting themselves into position' to buy tickets!"
